True, though he said "randomly generated" which leads me to believe that some are contained in blue circles and some are not. Of course that's not 100%, Nor can we say definitively that the ONLY barnacles to be found are static. Just annoys me when people say that they are.

I like to think on them like painite, in the right place , with the right tools and knowledge, you can get it.
A question regarding cargo bays (apologies if someone has already answered it as I haven't read the whole thread yet). Wouldn't it better to disable cargo bay from the modules screen. I have some experience of cargo loss due to heat damage and switching the module off seems to prevent the problem.
I had a roll around Pleione 4 for a couple of hours earlier, practicing my POI spotting.
As soon as I got the circle on the edge of my scope, I went to debug cam and tried to see it first. I spotted a proper data point building on the side of a crater because it had lights and a shaft of blue light shining straight up. This was from about 3km away in daylight. I'm not saying this is *the* method that works. It's *A* method that seems to work.

Ah... just flew there and nothing unfortunately.... must not be a persistent crash site.

What's the relevance of cargo in a search for barnacles?
CONSTELLATION UPDATE:
Apologies, I made a mistake with the reference system. The real reference is Star #3 is Pleiades Sector HR-W D1-42
Did check other proposals about the stars: 7 and 8 are NOT Maia or Atlas.
I'll keep searching and trying to identify all the stars, but any help will be welcome

Not so much the barnacles as transporting the UAs. I assume that that some attempt is being made or has been made to bring the two things together.
I think it's safe to assume that at this rate your ship will be eaten down to its manifold before a barnacle is found.......
I have checked and they are not Pleione and Atlas. Probably you shoot the wrong constellation as I did a mistake in my previous reference system. Sorry :S
Let's say that, as MB said, there are some manually placed ones in addition to the random ones - what would be then purpose of placing some manually?
To ensure that there will always be some that can be found.
And if they've been specifically placed to be found, as was referenced earlier, then there'll have to be some visual clue from orbit as to why we should investigate a given area.
On Pleione 4, for example, there are lot of interesting green areas, not all of which look like they're entirely random; but that's the beauty of FDs procedural generation - it's capable of generating non-random looking structures and details despite being exactly that. Just like nature has here.
Anyway, enough waxing lyrical about that - I agree with the many people suggesting low-level skimming and using our eyes: when you get bored just get out in the SRV perhaps. Pick an interesting looking area from orbit (tricky if on the dark side, I know), get down there, and get those eyes peeled.
I've no doubt, too, that the random ones will be blue POIs, so that method should also work, however I have a short attention span when it goes to looking at the blue circle and finding its centre!
It would be great if we could be more methodical at the surface level as a collective here - but, to be honest, I don't know where to begin - it's so difficult to keep track of where you've gone!
On a separate note it's great to see so many new names, some of whom well know throughout the Elite community, too - it's great to see the fervour around this.
Somebody *will* find one of these things... I've no doubt.

6 and 7 must be Atlas and Pleione
since Atlas is Bigger than Pleione
so
Atlas = 6
Pleione = 7
That's the spirit!
It may or may not be useful, but Ratking and I had a good long chat about things on the live stream last night: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MYVTlfCHRM
One of the viewers suggested that the Large Barnacles could be some refinery/industrial complex for this techno-organic species?

Thanks Volgrand - I'll start checking systems tomorrow if people haven't found it by then!
Separately I wondered if as well as visually obvious landmarks there had been a consistent effort to check the poles of the various land able bodies?
Thirdly and finally, in terms of keeping tabs on how we are doing could we create some kind of spreadsheet with the planets separated into say 2 deg by 2 deg sections, then commanders tick 'em off when they have searched them? It is beyond my technical expertise but google docs might have a way?

like this twin site 1 is mining and the other like an industrial unit with a building looks like 2 porta cabins on top of each other.
electra 2 and coordinates are in picture
